Dear Mr. Adam McKay
I am sysadmin from Moscow (Russia) and I have the same task
(Redhat 7.1 on FastTrak Promise).
I?d appricate if you send me some more detailed instructions of installation process.
Thank you for your permission to ask you for help.
PS.
What I have done that works
Your first 5 steps
1) Obtained relevant RedHat 7.1 drivers from: http://support.promise.com/Linux/Default.htm
2) tar xfv ftrhup_120b9.tar on a floppy took ft.o
3) Boot off CD-ROM, enter linux dd or expert at the boot prompt.
Then I went through install process.I skiped you steps 5 and 6.
I finish the install, and Redhat 7.1 boot from sda1.
Then
4) I place http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.12.tar.gz and
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/pdcraid/patch-to-2.4.12
Compiled and booted a kernel with ataraid drivers.
I tried to compile lilo from http://ataraid.slimyhorror.com/lilo-ataraid.tar.gz but I got an error : undifined EXTENDED_PARTITION in partition.c (I assigned value to EXTENDED_PARTITION according fdisk ), but after installing LILO and rebooting I got LILO- Would you enlighten me what is wrong?
sincere regards
